# LEAP Network (Forensic Logic) **Domain:** Austin Research / Surveillance **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied essay and the specifically identified records; verification scope is recorded in [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|the evidence ledger]]. The **LEAP Network** in Forensic Logic’s product history is a commercial law-enforcement search system. SoundThinking describes it as indexing structured and unstructured data and supporting natural-language search. This wiki title preserves its distinct identity from the [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|NCTCOG Law Enforcement Analysis Portal]]. The supplied essay follows the commercial system through an Oakland deployment and subsequent incorporation into the COPLINK/CrimeTracer lineage. Its Oakland usage figures remain attributed to the essay’s cited reporting, rather than treated as a measurement of NCTCOG’s system. For Austin, the open question is whether the two LEAP names identify connected implementations, a provider relationship, or parallel systems. NCTCOG’s August 2014 transition provides an actual handoff event to investigate. Until its recipient and transferred assets are identified, the two histories remain separately navigable. This distinction allows the wiki to pursue the migration hypothesis without silently creating a chain of custody for Austin records. ## Connected entries [[wiki/Forensic Logic|Forensic Logic]] · [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|Law Enforcement Analysis Portal]] · [[wiki/LEAP Provider Transition|LEAP Provider Transition]] · [[wiki/COPLINK|COPLINK]] · [[wiki/CrimeTracer|CrimeTracer]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Surveillance Field|The Austin Surveillance Field]] - [SoundThinking — COPLINK X Is Now CrimeTracer, June 5, 2023](https://www.soundthinking.com/blog/coplink-x-is-now-crimetracer/) - [NCTCOG — FY2014 Goals Attainment, p. 79, contract extended and closed August 31, 2014](https://www.nctcog.org/getContentAsset/62860e51-24a3-4b7f-b187-2be6a77fcd5f/dfc3d011-8f63-43f6-9ed8-4b444333a1d0/fy-2014-nctcog-goals-attainment.pdf) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Field|Austin Surveillance Field]] · [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger]]
